Round Robin Storytelling (9-7-13)

Today’s Parenting Tip:

Decide: Storytelling is a useful parenting tool.

Practice: Today, start a fun activity for the whole family – round robin storytelling. One person starts the story with a sentence or part of a sentence and each person afterwards takes a turn to add to it, one by one. If there is something you want your child to learn from the story, weave it in when it is your turn.

For example, have the main person in the story show how honest he is or have that person or animal make a good decision about something.

Today’s Decide and Practice daily parenting tip was inspired by our featured picture book, I WILL LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT. Read the book to a child in your life each day as a reminder of what you are deciding and practicing that day.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
